Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Out of curiosity what is wrong with suggesting people join an org? Or is it the type of orgs he recommends? I feel like that is the best advice you can give leftists in America
Yeah, its the type of orgs. I have some misgivings about them. Its not the worst possible advice, because even in a bad org you might make good connections with local comrades, but you also might get turned off of organizing entirely.
Its hard to give blanket advice and its hard to find comrades to organize with outside of existing national orgs, but those orgs specifically don't have a great reputation, at least in my area, and IMO are not what I would recommend to new comrades
